FIFA president Gianni Infantino is offering Morocco the rights to host the 2030 World Cup final in exchange for supporting his reelection as FIFA president, according to The Times, extending the proposal as he faces calls to resign following a controversial plan to sell stakes in the World Cup.

Infantino wants a formal statement of support from Morocco, The Times reported, noting Saudi Arabia, which is typically one of his biggest supporters, has yet to endorse him.

Infantino ordered key staff to an emergency meeting in Morocco this week “to try to rescue his presidency,” according to The Times, with unnamed sources telling the outlet Infantino has promised the World Cup final will be hosted at the 115,000-seat Hassan II, an under-construction stadium in Casablanca, Morocco.

He gave the bishops until August 7 to respond — ten days before most Florida schools open for the new year.

Within hours, the attorney general announced the letter on X. “Ironically, they won’t offer religious exemptions as prescribed by state law,” he wrote. “This is troubling and may disqualify them from state scholarships and vouchers.”

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced Tuesday that his department would redirect $1.73 billion in Biden-era grants away from establishing “DEI bike lanes” to build roads and bridges instead.

Upon hearing “equity,” President Donald Trump’s goons can’t help but get triggered into attacking any federal spending that won’t benefit them directly. In reality, those Biden-era grants directed funds to build a new transit center in North Carolina, replace bridges in New Mexico, extend streets in New Hampshire, install traffic lights and crosswalks in Missouri, and install bike lanes in Seattle, among other projects. Now the financial status of these projects is unclear.
